Osaru-no Oyado (Monkey's Inn) in Sangre Grande, Japan

The BEST hostel I have stayed in.The owner, Imai-san, is very friendly and helpful and goes above and beyond to create a welcoming, fun atmosphere for all of his guests.The location is great for access to the monorail (which connects to the airport) and inter-island ferries, and free bicycle rental brings all the main sights within easy distance.The kitchen was clean and fully stocked, but we never had to use it because Imai-san made dinner almost every night!It really felt like home!
